Benefits of technology

Enhances operability by allowing effective use of operators for both internal and external sound sources, simplifying configuration, and reducing costs by eliminating the need for dedicated operators for external sound sources.

Problems solved by technology

For this reason, it is difficult to change sound parameters related to an external sound source freely in a live hall, thus operability thereof is low.
If a setting unit configured to set the sound parameters is provided exclusively for the external sound source separately from an internal sound source, a configuration is made more complicated and a cost thereof is also increased.
Therefore, operators included in setting units are not effectively used.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to drawings.

[0020]FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a sound control system including a sound control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The sound control system includes a keyboard device 1000 serving as the sound control device and an external device 2000, which are communicably connected to each other. The keyboard device 1000 is configured as an electronic keyboard instrument, for example. The keyboard device 1000 includes a keyboard unit 1003 including a plurality of keys. A master volume knob 1002, a pitch bend lever 1004, and a modulation lever 1005 are placed on a panel surface 1001 of the keyboard device 1000. The panel surface 1001 further includes a plurality of sections configured to receive various operations and settings. These sections include a main section 20, a first timbre section 30, a second timbre section 50, a third timbre section 70, a delay section ...

Abstract

A sound control device includes a plurality of setting interfaces. Each of the setting interfaces includes a parameter operator, a communication interface performing control change message transmission and reception, a generation unit generating the control change message, a designation unit designating validity or invalidity of generating respective sound signals for the plurality of setting interfaces, a mode selection unit selecting a control mode of the communication interface, and a control unit. The control unit controls such that, when a first mode is selected, the control change message generated by the generation unit for a setting interface which is designated as valid among the plurality of setting interfaces is not transmitted through the communication interface, and the control change message generated by the generation unit for a setting interface which is designated as invalid among the plurality of setting interfaces is transmitted through the communication interface.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-2973 filed on Jan. 10, 2019, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0002]The embodiments of the present invention relate to a sound control device including a plurality of setting units configured to set sound parameters, a control method and a program thereof.2. Description of the Related Art[0003]In related art, in order to improve performance, it is desired to realize simultaneous sound production (layered sound production) of a plurality of timbres using an internal sound source and an external sound source in a sound control device such as an electronic musical instrument. Patent Literature 1, JP-A-7-36456 referred discloses an electronic musical instrument in which whether MIDI data generated in response to a keyboard operation is to be trans...
